Hi everyone. I am in need of assistance with shelltool. I've been flashing ROMs for quite some time and this goes beyond the scope of typical upgrading. I apparently had a bad flash happen and need some help correcting it. The OS appears to work fine, except some applications .cab installers exit before asking device or storage card. I have attempted to load the EnableRapi.cab and Cert_SPCS.cab; however, they exit almost instantly after starting them.

I had this situation happen once before and I was able to oddly enough try to load the original T-Moblie ROM through shelltool (didn't install at all), then try NBD 8.3. which brought me to a boot loader screen after doing a hard reset, but didn't install NBD 8.3. So far I'm not having much luck in recreating the experiment.

Is there a way to force a Wizard into bootloader mode using shelltool or some other utility? I can restore the device if I can get that far.

Hi, have been reading this forum for about 3 month and i enyoy it and learn a lot. Have been try about 7 roms and like all. It's time to payback.

Yo can enter bootload by pressing and holding the voice command button and then softreset, keep holding the voice command button util you reach bootload.

Other thing you can do is run the original rom by its executable program not using shelltool.

:) Good luck

1 put phone into bootloader by pressing and holding camera button+reset hole. Keep holding the camera button untill you see the tricollor screen.

2 plug the phone into the computer (wait to hear the noise that it found hardware

3 Flash a rom you know worked (maybe your original/ maybe someone elses... maybe even mine ;) )

4 wait untill the flashing finishes and "Tap Screen..." appeares before unplugging.

(If you have a G4 then I advise you to flash the original rom, or make sure your ipl/spl is propper. check the G4 forum to be sure, or ask Mestrini - The creator of the Wizard service tool. I believe he has a G4 and knows more about it than most)

Happy Flashing :)
